Ping Pong Life

Chapter 90
But in fact, after He Jingping returned to the national team, he was really busy.

At the Austrian Open in mid-August, He Jingping, who had been absent for three years, returned to the public eye and guided Luo Jiu for three consecutive games. In the end, Luo Jiu won the first two foreign games and lost the third civil game.

This also made He Jingping bear a lot of negative comments.

It was not honorable for him to leave at the beginning, but now he is back in charge of Luo Jiu after returning, but he lost easily in the first expedition, which made many people feel unworthy for Luo Jiu.

They think that He Jingping is poisonous, and Luo Jiu should change to a coach.

After all, in the two games that Luo Jiu won, the opponents were ranked outside the top 30, while in the civil war that Luo Jiu lost, the opponent was only an unremarkable player in the national team, ranked more than [-] in the world.

"Luo Jiu was only at the bottom of the five main players before, which is understandable, but now he dares to lose even players other than the main players?"

"Have you noticed that Luo Jiu seems to have changed his skills again?"

"That's right, Luo Jiu's backhand pushes continuously today, and I'm so pissed off. Where did the beautiful backhand circle go?"

"This must be He Jingping's idea!"

"You can pay attention to the details. Luo Jiu's racket has been replaced with rubber on the reverse side, and now the particles are facing up."

"Oh my god, is he going to play raw rubber? Is he crazy?"

"He Jingping misunderstood my son!"

"Why is Luo Jiu so obsessed? He just trusts him as a teacher."

"Oh, my little Jiu, what you see at first sight means you will miss your whole life."

In the face of verbal abuse and ridicule, He Jingping behaved calmly.

This is very different from what he was seven years ago.

Seven years ago, He Jingping was extremely serious. When people questioned him, he would try his best to explain and try to convince the other party. When Luo Jiu lost the game, he would directly refuse to be interviewed.

But this time he accepted the interview frankly, and said sincerely into the microphone: "That's right, Xiao Jiu's technical transformation was proposed by me, and I am very happy that he is willing to accept my suggestion again. Finally, I would like to say, please Be patient and give us more time, thank you."

He didn't say anything grandiose, nor did he say "I will prove myself" with confidence like seven years ago, he just pulled all the criticisms on himself.

Wang Chao was a little touched when he saw these things through the sports news.

Of course, compared to Luo Jiu's technical improvement and He Jingping's return, the audience is obviously more interested in the recovery of the Huaguo table tennis team members.

In mid-August, at the Austrian station of the ITTF World Tour, Sun Tianlong participated as a seed and entered the main match directly. Lin Li was defeated by a big score of 4, completing the return of the king.

A week later, Sun Tianlong qualified to participate in the annual Asian Table Tennis Championships by virtue of his super high personal world ranking.

The match was held in Doha, Qatar. Sun Tianlong once again won the championship with a record of undefeated games, achieving three consecutive championships in the Asian Championships, setting a new record for the men's individual singles in the Asian Championships.

In the men's team competition of this Asian Championships, Huaguo sent a veteran lineup of Sun Tianlong, Lin Li, and Xiao Fei to defeat the Kimchi Men's Team and the Bay Island Men's Team with a big score of 3:0 and a small score of 4:0. Once again won the championship without losing a game.

By the way, it also achieved eight consecutive championships for the men's team in the Asian Championships, breaking the record set by the Huaguo table tennis team itself.

In this team competition, Lin Li and Xiao Fei swept away the gloom of the first half of the year, playing extremely aggressive and aggressive, with almost zero mistakes in the whole game.

The face of the ITTF was slapped.

Because they just chanted half a month ago.

"Hua Guo Ping Pong has entered a declining trend!"

"Europe is on the rise!"

But now they jumped up and shouted again.

"Huaguo Ping-Pong is invincible!"

"Sun Tianlong, a man like a god!"

……

Wang Chao didn't watch these games because he was very busy and needed to race against time to develop a tacit understanding with Tian Zhengguang and practice doubles.

Fortunately, Tian Zhengguang stopped being awkward.

After a fight for Wang Chao, the invisible gap between the two dissipated unconsciously, and they could finally communicate normally during practice. Occasionally, Tian Zhengguang would take the initiative to ask Wang Chao for some technical details.

He is much rougher than Lu Jia, and because of his age, his skills have been fixed and it is difficult to improve, but because his physical fitness is good enough and his offense is rough enough, the effect of pairing with Wang Chao is not bad.

The root cause is that Tian Zhengguang is holding the racket in the forehand, so Wang Chao is freed and can sacrifice his most powerful backhand horizontal stroke.

When he was paired with Lu Jia, Lu Jia was the main attacker and he was the main defender.

When he teamed up with Tian Zhengguang, he no longer wholeheartedly played for his teammates, but directly took on half of the offensive tasks, and even most of the difficult balls were Wang Chao who was responsible for taking the lead and seeking the initiative.

The result of this is that the turnover rate of the two has risen sharply, almost twice as much as before, but the attack power of the two has also risen sharply, more than twice as much as before.

This simple, rude, and unreasonable whole-stage attack style is quite weird. Basically, you die or I die. It's a bloody mess, but the specific effect of the test is actually better than before, which is also a surprise. up.

In the next week and a half, Wang Chao led Spade Q to fight three tough battles in a row. The three opponents were the team "Qiantang Guanchao Club" from Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province, and the team "Dongou Club" from Ouyue City, Zhejiang Province. Tea Industry Club", and Taihu City Team in Jiangsu Province "Taihu Beauty Club".

Yes, you read that right, one team from Jiangsu Province and two teams from Zhejiang Province.

Because of the existence of the home and away game system, and because the territory of Huaguo is too vast, the officials of the Table Tennis Association will try their best to follow the principle of proximity when arranging troops, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of time and energy for each team on the itinerary. .

All three games were extremely thrilling.

Due to the absence of Geng Shuai, Lu Jia was promoted to the first single, and Wang Chao and Tian Zhengguang took the second and third singles.

In the match against Qiantang Guanchao Club, Lu Jia lost the first game, Wang Chao won the second game, and won the third doubles game with Tian Zhengguang, then Tian Zhengguang lost the fourth singles game, and Lu Jia finally won the second game. In a finale match, he successfully caught the opponent's three singles, and the victory was fairly easy. In the end, Spades narrowly won q3:2.

When playing Dongou Tea Club, Lu Jia still lost the first game, and Wang Chao still won the second and third games, but in the fourth game, Lu Jia was caught by the opponent again. Completed the day's two-game losing streak.

At this time, Wang Chao was already desperate.

But in the end, it was Tian Zhengguang who miraculously completed the reversal. He fought the bloody battle with the opponent's three single bayonets, and each game was extremely difficult. I have to admit that the atmosphere on the court was almost stagnant.

Playing until the fifth game, Tian Zhengguang didn't collapse, but the opponent's three singles collapsed, allowing Tian Zhengguang to score points, and also allowing Spade Q to win again with a total score of 3:2, retaining his undefeated golden status.

After the match, Fan Xiaoxian judged that Tian Zhengguang and Wang Chao both had the highest contribution, and shared a prize of 8 yuan equally.

So far, Spade Q has won all four games, ranking first in the standings, tied for first place with the king's division "Sea God Club" who also finished four rounds.

The final match against the Taihumei Club was relatively uneventful.

Zhu Zehai, the strongest player of Taihumei, chose the second single to play in this game.

Although he has a soft personality, he still has face. Zhu Ding even came here to train him specially. He had to touch Wang Chao no matter what, to prove that the child of old Zhu's family is not a softie.

So he was beaten 3:0 by Wang Chao, and he lost so badly that his mentality collapsed after the fight.

Fortunately, Wang Chao kept his hand at the critical moment of the third game and gave him an 11:1, which was regarded as keeping the last underwear.

It is worth mentioning that this round of Lujia finally scored in singles, which also led to the end of the game after three games. Spades defeated Taihumei q3:0 and won five consecutive victories.

So far, Spade Q's four away games in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have all come to an end.

After today, Spade Q will return to Jiangcheng City. The next few games will be the club's consecutive home games. The players will feel much more relaxed in all aspects.

This day is the first weekend in September. Thousands of miles away in Athens, another ITTF World Tour is underway. Luo Jiu lost to Danish veteran Christian Hart in the first round of the main match. He was eliminated directly, which was a huge upset.

In the afternoon of that day, the public opinion was overwhelming, and most of the blame was directed at Luo Jiu's coach, He Jingping.

"What the hell is Cai Guodong doing? Is he really nepotism? The coach asked him to return to the coaching staff for such a problem?"

"My Xiaojiu, I was so optimistic about it back then, but these seven years were abruptly abolished by his master."

"Technical transformation? Change your paralysis, even the coaches of small African countries know what raw rubber is, right? You asked Luo Jiu to change raw rubber?"

"He Jingping dismisses get out of class!"

"He Jingping apologizes to the people of the whole country!"

"He Jingping get out of Huaping, and go to Sakura Country to harm them."

"Sakura Kingdom has not been weak in recent years, how could it be possible to like him? Let him go to Africa to bask in the sun!"

The forum is filled with a lot of verbal violence, and only a very small number of people will say a word to He Jingping weakly.

For example: "Christian is not weak. After all, Luo Jiu is in the process of technical transformation. It is normal to lose to him."

But this sentence was slapped in the face by the speed of light.

Just 24 hours later, Christian lost to Zhuang Huishen, a 38-year-old player from Bay Island, in the next round.

Zhuang Huishen was once well-known and known as the star of Bay Island, but he is seven years older than Sun Tianlong. Now he is recognized as the end of his career, and there have been no major competitions in the past two years.

Such a person swept Christian 4:1, which is equivalent to blatantly telling everyone: it's not that Christian is strong, but that Luo Jiu is really weak after changing the rubber!
Wang Chao, who just won five consecutive victories, returned to Jiangcheng's home court, lying on the bedside and flipping through his phone, watching the news, imagining how much pressure He Jingping was under at the moment, and feeling a little worried.

Although the dawn is beautiful, the darkness before the dawn is getting deeper.

He was worried that He Jingping would collapse again.

Because past history has proved that He Jingping is not that kind of mature, rational, tenacious and confident character.

He is the kind of idealist who is full of passion and full of dreams.

Such people can easily go from one extreme to the other.

Wang Chao found He Jingping's mobile phone number from the address book, put his finger on the button and hesitated for a long, long time, but finally did not press it.

Because he suddenly figured out a truth.

After He Jingping experienced a seven-year collapse, he should become stronger.

Although he is the first national coach to take the initiative to express kindness to himself.

But if he still can't overcome his personality flaws, then he doesn't have the right to call him a teacher.

After all, I want to take him to the grand slam
　Thank you for the rewards of "One drink, one peck," "Stay on the road," and "King's triumphant song".

　　PS: In the future, I won’t thank you for the monthly pass separately, because there are indeed more than I imagined, and I can’t thank you. (Am I bloated)
