Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam

Chapter 13 [013] Are you cheating?

The first game, 11:0.

The second game, 11:2.

The third game, 11:1.

The score was 3:0, and Chen Jin won.

In five games, three wins, Xie Mingyang only won three points from him in the three games combined.

Moreover, one point hit the net, one point hit the edge, all of them were lucky shots.

Only in the fifth ball of the second game, Chen Jin made a slight error in judgment and failed to control the ball, rubbing it half way out of the table.

Xie Mingyang seized the opportunity, tried his best, and scored with one shot.

The moment of winning.

A shout of "Wrong!" and an angry roar resounded throughout the venue.

Finally won a point!
It’s so damn difficult!

Xie Mingyang's face was filled with excitement, his eyes were filled with excitement, and he almost started popping champagne to celebrate at halftime.

If you don’t know, you would think he just won the Olympic singles championship.

In Xie Mingyang's opinion.

This goal will be the beginning of my pursuit of victory and will sound the clarion call for a counterattack from then on!

however.

It turned out that he was overthinking.

In the following games, Chen Jin was not affected at all.

Like cutting melons and vegetables, with delicate control and fierce playing style, he made rapid progress and quickly won the game.

"Concession."

There was no celebration after the game.

Chen Jin took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Xie Mingyang to show that even though they lost the game, their friendship remained.

"Well played."

Xie Mingyang had a blank expression on his face and responded reflexively.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand somewhat stiffly and lightly touched it with Chen Jin.

He leaned over, picked up the towel and covered his face with it.

I don't know if he was wiping his sweat or deliberately covering his frustrated face so that no one could see it.

Just then.

A cheer was heard.

Zhang Jiahao had already rushed forward, dancing, jumping and dancing.

He seemed to have defeated Xie Mingyang, and he immediately held his head high and felt proud.

"Brother Jin, awesome!"

Zhang Jiahao held Chen Jin's face and kissed him hard on the forehead.

"Ah, bah, bah..."

As if wearing a mask of pain, Zhang Jiahao immediately turned his head away and spat on the ground a few times, "My sweat is so salty."

the other side.

Xie Mingyang suddenly pulled off the towel, stared at Chen Jin, and asked out of the blue: "Are you cheating?"

They are all teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, and are geniuses selected from thousands of people in their respective provincial teams.

What's more, he has the title of new champion of the Youth Championship.

Logically speaking, even if we lose, it won't be such a horrible loss.

But now he was beaten so badly by Chen Jin that he had almost no ability to fight back.

The gap is so huge that it's disappointing.

No matter how good your mentality is, you are just a young man full of vigor and blood.

Faced with such a devastating defeat, one cannot help but feel discouraged and shaken.

Apart from "cheating", Xie Mingyang really couldn't explain it to himself.

"Correct."

Chen Jin smiled slightly and admitted generously, "I was cheating."

Xie Mingyang: “…”

After listening to Xie Mingyang's questioning.

Zhang Jiahao curled his lips and said, "In competitive sports, only results matter. If you are not as skilled as others, then you are not as skilled as others. Why do you have to find so many excuses?"

"Brother, learn from me. We were defeated 4:0 by you in the Youth Championship. Did I make excuses like you did?"

Xie Mingyang was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Zhang Jiahao who exposed his past.

He glanced at Zhang Jiahao and snorted coldly.

"I did lose this time, but that doesn't mean I will lose next time."

Xie Mingyang took a deep breath, swept away the dejection of the defeat, and pulled himself together again, his eyes firm, "What doesn't kill me can only make me stronger." "The trials are waiting, I will definitely take revenge!"

After throwing down these few harsh words.

Xie Mingyang picked up the racket, took his teammates, and walked away without looking back.

I found a table tennis table and trained silently, sweating profusely.

"I remember when I first started practicing, didn't our coach tell me that straight blades had no future? Why is this straight blade so strong?"

"It's not the candy bar that's strong, it's this person!"

"As the champion of the Youth Championship, I had to try every possible means, try my best, and rely on luck to get three points from him... Zhuo, then wouldn't I, who is one of the top 32 in the Youth Championship, have even less hope?"

"There is no suspense about who will be the champion in this selection. We can only fight for the second and third place."

"Don't lose heart. No one can predict the outcome before you step on the field or finish the game... What if a miracle happens? For example, this guy gets impotent again or something."

"Brother, shut up! If he dies, do you think we can escape?"

"I lost it, it seems like ha."

……

Amidst a chorus of mixed emotions including amazement, worry, and disappointment.

The others gradually dispersed and returned to training.

no doubt.

The match in which Chen Jin brutally defeated the newly crowned Youth Championship champion Xie Mingyang cast an indelible shadow on their young and fragile hearts.

Which of these young people is not a table tennis genius in his respective place?

They gathered together with their love and dreams for table tennis and great confidence.

Before this, everyone thought they were the true chosen ones.

Others are just the backdrop for one's journey to the highest level of table tennis.

However, the match between Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang completely shattered the fantastic dreams of many people.

Chen Jin used his overwhelming strength to tell everyone that this sentence was the truth.

——Genius? It’s just the threshold to see me!

only.

They didn't see that since Chen Jin joined the provincial team, he has been working hard to practice for two hours more almost every day in addition to his daily training.

I don't know how many pairs of shoes I have worn out.

At this time, Li Qian stood up from the referee's seat.

But Chen Jin was seen picking up the towel and wiping the sweat off his face, with an expression as calm as an ancient well, without any trace of joy or pride in winning the Youth Championship.

He turned his eyes to look at Xie Mingyang, who had already immersed himself in even more arduous training.

Don’t be arrogant when you win, and don’t be discouraged when you lose!

They are all good players for the national table tennis team!

Li Qian showed a relieved smile and his gaze returned to Chen Jin again.

It is clear.

Whether it was the previous test of ball speed or the game just now, Chen Jin was undoubtedly the one who gave him the biggest surprise.

After the trials, he can definitely be promoted to the second team.

At that time, maybe this boy will be assigned to my side and become his head coach!

With this young man's potential, maybe...

The scene was so beautiful that Li Qian felt so happy that he didn't dare to think any further.

"Chen Jin, you fought well."

Li Qian smiled and said, "The style of play is fierce, the shots are decisive, the control is delicate, and the thinking is clear."

"With talents like you in the national table tennis team, I wonder who will dare to say there is no successor in the future."

Chen Jin raised his head and grinned at Li Qian: "Coach Li, you flatter me."

"You and Xie Mingyang are both good prospects. You may become teammates in the future."

Li Qian asked, "You're so cruel, aren't you afraid that it will affect your relationship with your teammates in the future?"

There are no fathers and sons on the playing field.

But off the field, it's not just about fighting, it's also about the human relationships.

What's more, Xie Mingyang came from the Magic City team and was favored by Director Wang.

Now he has been defeated miserably by Chen Jin, and I'm afraid Director Wang will lose face.

"It's precisely because it could be a teammate that I acted so cruelly."

Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders. "The sooner we make him realize the difference, the better it will be for him."

"Good boy!"

Li Qian smiled and patted Chen Jin's shoulders heavily several times.
