The big devil in table tennis

Chapter 1252 Training

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Hui couldn't help but try to resolve it, "Shaojie, how can you regret this? And let's celebrate today. After all, the game just now was really exciting! Right, Shaojie?"

At the same time, Jianhua also said: "How could Shaojie be that kind of person? It's just a meal."

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows with a teasing smile on his face: "Okay, then let's go to the 'old place'? I heard that they recently launched a few new signature dishes, it's a good time to try them."

"No problem!" Shaojie nodded readily upon seeing this.

A group of people walked out of the gymnasium talking and laughing, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, lengthening their shadows.

People were coming and going on the street, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of food, whetting everyone's appetite.

"By the way, Shaojie, that backhand shot you just made was amazing!" Jianhua recalled the wonderful moments in the game as he walked, "If it weren't for that shot by you, we might not have won."

Shaojie waved his hands and said modestly: "No, no, if Xu Xin hadn't been holding up the pressure, I wouldn't have had the chance to perform."

Xu Xin smiled and patted Shaojie on the shoulder: "Okay, stop flattering each other. We were able to win today because of everyone's cooperation. However, the next game can't be so thrilling, we have to prepare in advance."

"Yes, Xu Xin is right. We need to sum up today's experience and lessons and strive to play better next time."

Shaojie became more humble.

After a while, they arrived at the familiar restaurant.

The moment they opened the door, a familiar aroma hit them in the face, and the boss greeted them warmly: "Hey, why are you all here today? Did you just finish your game?"

"Yes, boss, Shaojie is treating us today, so we have to have a good meal!" Lin Hui said with a smile.

The boss laughed and patted Shaojie on the shoulder: "Okay, Shaojie, you have to be generous today!"

Shaojie smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, boss, we won't go home until we are drunk today!"

Everyone sat around a large round table, ordered a few signature dishes, and added a few bottles of drinks.

Before the dishes were served, everyone was already chatting animatedly, with topics ranging from the recent game to future training plans.

"By the way, we have to prepare well for the China Table Tennis World Cup next month." Xu Xin suddenly said, "This usually invites the top 16 players in the world, as well as champions from each continent and players from the host country. We can't take it lightly."

Shaojie nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "That's right, we have to hurry up to train, especially the doubles cooperation, we need to run in and run in again."

"Doubles coordination is indeed the key, and we have to practice our tacit understanding to the extreme. However, we can't relax in singles either, after all, our opponents in the China World Cup are all top players."

Jianhua took over the conversation and said in a steady tone: "Yes, especially those European players, who are in hot form recently. We need to study their playing styles in advance and find a breakthrough."

Xu Xin gently stirred the drink in his cup and said thoughtfully: "The women's team also needs to work harder. The Japanese team has been very strong recently. We need to be fully prepared."

Lin Hui nodded, his eyes firm: "The training plan must be detailed, especially the targeted tactical drills. We can't just rely on the usual routine training."

Xu Xin said: "Then let's start from tomorrow and practice two hours more every day, focusing on the tactical coordination of doubles and singles?"

"Yes! We must show our strength in the World Cup and let the whole world see the strength of Chinese table tennis!"

Just then, the waiter came over with a plate of steaming hot signature dishes and greeted with a smile: "Everyone, the dishes are here, eat them while they're hot!"

Shaojie smiled and raised his teacup: "Come on, let's drink tea instead of wine, and wish you a successful World Cup next month!"

Xu Xin also raised his teacup, his eyes gleaming with determination: "We must not only win, but also win beautifully!"

Shaojie smiled and gently touched his teacup: "We will definitely be able to do it in this World Cup."

He took a sip of tea, his eyes determined, "We still need to work on our tacit understanding in doubles. We have to hurry up starting tomorrow."

Xu Xin nodded and put a piece of food into the bowl with chopsticks: "We already have a preliminary tactical plan, and the next step is to execute it. Shaojie and I need to cooperate more closely in doubles, and Jianhua and Lin Hui need to work harder in singles."

"Lin Hui doesn't need us to worry about him at all." Jianhua said.

The waiter brought another plate of steamed fish and told the name of the dish.

Shaojie took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The smell of this fish really whets my appetite."

Xu Xin also nodded in agreement: "Yes, steaming fish is the most challenging part of cooking. It seems that the chef in this restaurant has good skills."

Jianhua picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "The fish is fresh and tender, and the taste is just right. It's really good."

Lin Hui smiled and joked: "Let's eat well so that we can have strength for training tomorrow."

While enjoying the food, they continued to discuss the next training plan.

Shaojie put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "The tacit understanding of doubles really needs to be strengthened, especially the cooperation in receiving and serving. We need to practice more tactics."

Xu Xin nodded in agreement: "Yes, especially for the opponent's strengths, we have to prepare a response plan in advance. Jianhua and Lin Hui also have to pay attention to the allocation of physical energy in singles. After all, the competition cycle is long and the condition must be maintained."

Jianhua said more confidently than before: "I will go all out in singles. Don't worry about Lin Hui's condition. He has been training very well recently."

Lin Hui smiled and said modestly: "Let's work together. Our goals are the same."

The waiter brought another plate of steaming hot soup. The group temporarily stopped discussing and focused on enjoying this sumptuous dinner.

The atmosphere at the table was relaxed and cheerful, but everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation and determination for the upcoming World Cup.

After dinner, Shaojie raised his teacup and said solemnly: "Cheers to our goal!"

Several people raised their teacups, clinked them together, and said in unison: "Come on!"

Xu Xin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced at his teammates at the table. He said in a firm tone: "In this World Cup, our goal is not only to participate, but to play in our style and strive for the best results. The strength of our opponents should not be underestimated, but as long as we unite as one and play to our usual training level, there is nothing to be afraid of." Jianhua nodded, with a glimmer of fighting spirit in his eyes: "That's right, especially those old opponents, we are very familiar with their tactics. As long as we keep a steady mind and seize the opportunity, victory will be in our hands."

Lin Hui put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "I think that in addition to technical preparation, psychological adjustment is also very important. The pressure of the game may be greater than we imagined, especially at critical moments, mentality determines victory or defeat. We have to prepare ourselves mentally in advance and stay calm."

Xu Xin nodded in agreement: "Lin Hui is right, mental quality is also a part of the game. We can do more simulation training in the next few days, especially for the handling of key balls, and try to stay calm in the game."

The waiter brought another plate of fresh fruit, and the group stopped discussing and started enjoying the fruit.

The atmosphere at the table remained relaxed, but the topic always revolved around the upcoming game.

Lin Hui picked up a piece of watermelon, took a bite, and said with a smile: "In fact, I think our condition this time is better than ever before. Especially Jianhua, his recent performance is really eye-catching."

Jianhua smiled and waved his hand: "Don't praise me, everyone is working hard. We are a team, only if everyone plays well can we go further."

Lin Hui patted Jianhua on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "That's right, the power of the team is infinite. Each of us must believe in ourselves and our teammates. During the game, no matter what situation we encounter, we must maintain communication and support each other."

They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with confidence and expectation.

After dinner, they walked out of the restaurant together. The night breeze was cool, but there was a fire burning in everyone's heart.

Xu Xin looked up at the night sky, the stars twinkling, as if foreshadowing their future journey.

She took a deep breath, turned around and said to her teammates, "Starting tomorrow, we need to be more focused in our training. There's not much time left until the competition, so we have to seize every minute and every second."

Jianhua and Lin Hui nodded at the same time, with determination gleaming in their eyes.

They know that the days ahead will be full of challenges, but as long as they unite as one, no difficulty will be insurmountable.

"Let's go, go back and have a good rest, and keep working hard tomorrow!" Xu Xin waved his hand, and several people walked towards the dormitory side by side, their backs looking particularly determined in the night.

The World Cup is getting closer and closer, and they are already prepared to face the challenge in their hearts.

After returning to the dormitory, Xu Xin did not rest immediately.

She sat at her desk, opened her notebook, and carefully reviewed every detail of today's training.

The notebooks are densely filled with records of the opponents' technical characteristics, tactical analysis, and their own strengths and weaknesses.

He picked up the pen and added a few more points under the "psychological adjustment" column, especially thoughts on how to stay calm in a high-pressure environment.

"Xu Xin, aren't you sleeping yet?" The roommate saw Xu Xin still busy so late.

"Right away, I'll organize today's training summary." Xu Xin replied without raising his head, the pen in his hand still sliding quickly across the paper.

My roommate became curious, walked over, and said, "Xu Xin, you are really too attentive! Especially the quick attack after the serve, I remember it clearly."

The roommate took a closer look at Xu Xin's notebook and found that it was filled with various tactical analyses and training experiences. He couldn't help but sigh: "Your notes are too detailed! You even remember every little move of your opponent so clearly. I really admire you."

Xu Xin smiled, put down his pen, and rubbed his sore eyes: "There is no other way. The game is getting closer and closer, and the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated. If we want to win, we have to do every detail well. Especially the attack after serving, which is their strong point. We have to think of a coping strategy in advance."

The roommate nodded and patted Xu Xin on the shoulder: "You are right, but don't work too hard. Health is the capital of revolution. Only when you rest well can you train and compete better."

Xu Xin stretched himself, stood up and stretched his muscles: "You're right, I'm going to sleep now. But during today's training, I found that our response speed in receiving serves is still a bit slow, especially when facing the opponent's fast attack, the positioning and movement need to be adjusted."

My roommate nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, I have noticed this problem as well. During training tomorrow, we can do more quick reaction exercises, especially against the opponent's new tactics."

Xu Xin nodded, closed his notebook, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's work together tomorrow to solve this problem."

My roommate also smiled and said, "No problem! Let's work hard together and strive to achieve good results in the World Cup."

After a quick wash, they went to bed to rest.

The lights in the dormitory went out and the room became quiet. Only the moonlight from the window came in and shone on their faces.

The next morning, before it was completely light, Xu Xin had already gotten up. He washed up quietly, changed into sportswear, and prepared to run a few laps in the playground to warm up. As soon as he went out, he saw Lin Hui and Jianhua had also gotten up and were stretching in the corridor.

"You're here so early too?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.

Jianhua smiled and moved his wrists: "Yeah, I can't sleep, so I might as well get up early and move around."

Lin Hui also nodded: "Warm up early, you will be in better condition during training."

The three of them smiled at each other and walked towards the playground together. The air in the early morning was particularly fresh, and there were only a few people running on the playground. They ran a few laps side by side, their bodies gradually warmed up, and their mood became more excited.

Seeing everyone's energetic appearance, the coach nodded with satisfaction and said, "Today our focus is on receiving serves and quick reaction training. Everyone should concentrate, especially when facing the opponent's quick attack, and the positioning and movement should be more flexible."

The training began. Whether it was serving, receiving, or quick reaction exercises, the teammates completed them meticulously, striving to make every detail perfect.

Sweat streamed down their cheeks, but no one stopped. Instead, they practiced more and more vigorously.

During the lunch break, several people sat on the sidelines, drinking water and discussing the results of the morning training.

"I think our reaction speed in receiving serves has improved significantly, especially our positioning and movement have become more flexible." Xu Xin wiped the sweat off his face and said to Shaojie with satisfaction.

"In the afternoon training, we can strengthen the doubles cooperation, especially the attack and defense transition after serving."

Xu Xin smiled and said, "No problem. Let's work harder this afternoon and try to get every detail right."
