Chapter 130 Macau Championship, a great opportunity to become the absolute main force of the national table tennis team!
When Xie Mingyang dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory, it was almost ten o'clock.

Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao had already washed up and were lying on their beds, playing with their cell phones and relaxing.

I heard the door creaking open.

The two of them got up at the same time and checked the situation.

But I saw Xie Mingyang changing his shoes at the entrance.

"came back?"

Chen Jin pointed at the table and said, "Would you like to have a midnight snack? Jiahao and I ordered takeout and left some for you."

Now, the game is over.

There are still some days until the next game.

In addition, the three are not the absolute main force of the national table tennis team, so their diet control is not that strict.

As long as you avoid pork, mutton and beef, it’s okay to order some takeout occasionally to satisfy your cravings.

"Thanks."

Xie Mingyang took his toiletries and a change of clothes and walked to the bathroom. "Can I borrow your bathroom? I'll take a shower first."

Before Chen Jin could speak, Zhang Jiahao expressed his dissatisfaction: "Hey, don't we have a public bathroom?"

"Why are you borrowing my brother Jin's bathroom?"

however.

Xie Mingyang seemed not to hear him. He ignored him and went straight into the bathroom.

After closing the door.

Before the sound of water was heard in the bathroom, soothing music could be heard.

"I guess Xie Mingyang dislikes the stinky bathroom you two share."

Chen Jin smiled.

"Stinky?"

Zhang Jiahao frowned, "How is this possible? I just took a shower, I definitely smell great."

"Every time you take a shower, you tend to poop a lot."

Chen Jin smiled bitterly, "The fragrance is mixed with stench, and the stench is mixed with fragrance. How many people can stand this?"

"really?"

Zhang Jiahao scratched the tip of his nose, "Why can't I smell it?"

after an hour.

In the bathroom, there was still the sound of water.

"Fuck! A grown man takes so long to take a shower?"

Listening to Zhang Jiahao’s complaints.

Chen Jin was both angry and amused, and gently kicked Zhang Jiahao: "It's eleven o'clock, why don't you go back to your bed and sleep?"

Like a loach, Zhang Jiahao lay at the end of Chen Jin's bed and twisted his body.

"Only eleven?"

Zhang Jiahao smiled and said, "At midnight, when yin and yang meet, it is the time for cultivators like us to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. How can we easily fall asleep?"

Chen Jingang wanted to say something to him.

At this moment.

crunch--

The bathroom door suddenly opened.

Xie Mingyang walked out with his upper body naked, wiping his wet hair.

"Fuck!"

Zhang Jiahao glanced at it casually, with a look of surprise on his face, "It's so thick and strong, it's comparable to yours, Brother Jin."

Chen Jin: "???"

"I'm talking about abs."

Zhang Jiahao swallowed his saliva and whispered, "This Xie has a good figure."

"In love?"

Chen Jin smiled.

"Pooh!"

Zhang Jiahao spat, "It's just an embroidered pillow, it looks good but is useless."

"Do you still want to use it?"

"..."

After taking a shower, Xie Mingyang swept away the tiredness he had just felt when he came back, and felt much more refreshed.

After drying your hair, you don’t need to blow-dry it, but wait for it to dry naturally.

"What did you order for takeout?"

Xie Mingyang sat down and looked at the midnight snacks on the table, which were all street snacks. He couldn't help but frowned.

With his eating habits, he never eats these things.

But at this point, after two hours of sparring, I was exhausted and consumed a lot of energy.

Plus, the aroma is very tempting.

Hesitate a little.

Xie Mingyang gritted his teeth and finally decided to give it a try.

"Ok?"

"It seems to be okay."

“It has a unique flavor.”

Street snacks seem to have a kind of magic, especially late at night. After the first bite, you can't stop eating them.

soon.

Xie Mingyang finished the remaining midnight snack by himself.

Licking your fingers to savor the taste, you will still want more.

“How much is this?”

Xie Mingyang turned around and asked, "I'll pass it to you."

"no need."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "By the way, Coach Wang wants you to be Lin Shidong's sparring partner?"

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang pulled out a tissue and nodded, "Coach Wang seems to think highly of Lin Shidong and has personally taught him a lot of things."

"I guess the higher-ups want to train Lin Shidong to become one of the absolute main players of the national table tennis team."

As a new Olympic cycle begins, the echelon construction of the national table tennis team is particularly important.

The three absolute main players of the Paris Olympics are Ma Taki, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin.

Among them, Ma Taki is already a man in his thirties.

Although the skills are still there, if I make it to the Los Angeles Olympics, I will be older and my physical strength will be a big problem.

When Fan Zhendong arrived at the Los Angeles Olympics, he was also over 30 years old.

According to the traditional Olympic configuration of "two veterans and one newcomer" of the national table tennis team, a newcomer must be trained as soon as possible during this Olympic cycle.

There is no doubt that the player selected by the national table tennis team is Lin Shidong.

Lin Shidong is only nineteen years old now, but he crushes his peers in terms of both talent and strength.

If we train him vigorously from now on, Lin Shidong will be in his prime by the time of the Los Angeles Olympics.

Of course, there are still four years to go before the Los Angeles Olympics.

Whether Lin Shidong can withstand it remains to be seen.

"Lin Shidong?"

Zhang Jiahao slapped his thigh fiercely, "Brother Jin, we must go after him."

"If you can beat him, by the time we get to the Los Angeles Olympics, Brother Jin, you will be one of the three main players of our national table tennis team."

"Maybe, there's still a chance to win the Olympic singles title and become the youngest men's table tennis singles champion in history..."

The more he thought about it, the more wonderful it became. The more he talked about it, the more excited he became. Zhang Jiahao couldn't help but drool at the corners of his mouth.

"Are you dreaming before you even fall asleep?" Chen Jin said with a smile.

“It’s difficult, but in four years, there are still opportunities.”

Xie Mingyang looked at Chen Jin with a serious expression and lowered his voice, "I just practiced with Lin Shidong and got a general idea of his strength."

"To be honest, he may not be your opponent."

This statement came out.

Chen Jinqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although I have only known Xie Mingyang for a short time, we have fought side by side for a few days. I know his character well and he would never speak nonsense.

"Fuck!"

Zhang Jiahao sat up immediately, very excited, "So, Brother Jin, you really have a chance to replace Lin Shidong and become the absolute main force of the national table tennis team."

"In my opinion, this Macau Championship will be a great opportunity for you."

Xie Mingyang said in a deep voice, "Even if you can't win the championship, as long as you can beat Lin Shidong, future resources and opportunities will gradually tilt towards you."

Listen quietly.

Chen Jin seemed to be thinking about something and did not speak.

There was a pause.

Then he raised his head, smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it for now. Wait until the real game and you'll see what happens."

"Right."

Xie Mingyang said quietly, "Unfortunately, with my current strength, I am only fit to be someone's sparring partner."

There was a hint of loneliness and self-mockery in his words.

Debuted at the same time as Chen Jin.

Now, Chen Jin is about to participate in the Macau Championship.

But I can only serve as a sparring partner for others.

Given his personality, it goes without saying that he felt unwilling.

"What's wrong with being a sparring partner? Am I not also a sparring partner?"

Zhang Jiahao laughed and said, "Didn't you hear what Coach Wang said? Zhang Jike was Coach Wang's sparring partner at the beginning, but in the end he stepped on Coach Wang's head and won the Grand Slam."

"You are Lin Shidong's sparring partner now. Maybe one day you will step on Lin Shidong's head and fly up to the sky."

Originally, he and Xie Mingyang were incompatible and disliked each other, and they would argue with each other whenever they met.

But this time, for the first time ever, she comforted Xie Mingyang.

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang nodded, "I hope this day will come sooner."

"Jiahao."

Chen Jin, however, heard something else in Zhang Jiahao's words, "You are my sparring partner now, do you also want to step on my head and win a Grand Slam?"

"Father, I have no such intention."

Zhang Jiahao pretended to be frightened and clasped his fists.

"Okay, you three-family slave!"

Chen Jin laughed and said, "Come here, drag him away and castrate him."

……

The next morning.

Six twenty.

The sky outside the window is still gray.

Chen Jin woke up from his sleep on time.

Get dressed, and go out for a run.

When in Lima, I had to get enough sleep because I had to compete every day.

Therefore, I didn't get up early.

And now, daily training has resumed.

The previous work and rest habits will naturally return to normal.

Tiptoe quietly and open the door.

He looked into Xie Mingyang's eyes.

"Morning."

Chen Jin greeted in a low voice.

"morning."

Xie Mingyang nodded.

Then, they changed their shoes and went out one after another for their morning run.

seven o 'clock.

Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang returned to the dormitory almost at the same time.

Zhang Jiahao just got up.

After taking a shower, it was exactly half past seven.

The three of them went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

eight thirty.

Gather at the training hall with other athletes.

Three new faces suddenly appeared in the training team.

It inevitably attracted everyone's attention.

"Why did three newcomers come? They look young. Were they transferred from the second team to serve as sparring partners?"

"That's not right. If they were all sparring partners, why were the two newcomers training alone?"

"It's definitely a bit strange."

"I've vaguely heard of that straight blade player. I think his name is Chen Jin. He was first in the U16 men's trials and just won the regular challenge championship."

"U16? Win the regular challenge championship? What kind of joke is this? Forget about being sixteen years old. I've been on the second team for four years and have only played in two feeder tournaments. I haven't participated in the regular challenge tournament yet. How can he participate?"

"Nonsense... ahem, figure it out yourself."

"Hehehe, putting aside other things, these three newcomers from the second team are all very handsome. They have directly raised the average appearance of the men's team by seven or eight levels."

"Didn't they say that the roster for the Macau Championship will be announced today? I wonder who got the wildcard spot."

"You have a good chance."

"Each each other."

……

All of a sudden.

Chen Jin's appearance immediately attracted enough attention and became a hot topic at the scene.

However, as the person involved, Chen Jin turned a deaf ear and ignored it.

Half an hour of stretching exercises.

It's nine o'clock.

Wang Hao came in person and everyone gathered.

“After careful discussion and careful consideration by the coaching staff, we now announce the list of participants for the Macau Championship.”

Wang Hao took out an A4 paper and scanned the scene. "Men's singles: Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong."
