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

Chapter 166: Beijing Team or Shanghai Team? The decision is in your hands!
"Cuo Le!"

Seeing Xie Mingyang come back from 2-0 down to win the game.

Li Qian jumped up suddenly, pumping his fist and roaring.

Even more excited than Xie Mingyang.

After all, as Xie Mingyang's temporary coach and off-field instructor, he also contributed to this hard-won victory.

"Hahaha……"

Li Qian smiled happily, "I am one step closer to being a first-team coach."

To know.

Zhang Yuzhen is a famous player of the South Korean team who is ranked 14th in the world.

The latest world ranking is still above Dakota.

Xie Mingyang is a newcomer to the national table tennis team's second team. He was able to defeat the strong for the first time on the Grand Slam stage, which will definitely attract the attention of the coaching staff.

By then, as a temporary coach and off-field instructor, I will surely be able to move to a higher level.

"I can't benefit from Chen Jin's influence, but I still have a chance to benefit from Xie Mingyang's influence."

Li Qian laughed so hard that he became numb.

She walked towards Xie Mingyang, opened her arms, and wanted to give him a big hug.

Unexpectedly, Xie Mingyang ruthlessly rejected her.

Li Qian was in a very good mood at the moment, and he didn't care. He grinned and said, "You played the ball really well."

"good."

Xie Mingyang packed his things without much expression on his face, "Thanks to Li for teaching you the pre-match tactics."

This is no polite remark.

If Li Qian hadn't thought of changing his backhand to a straight line before the game, he wouldn't have been able to adapt his tactics so well during the game.

More importantly, he scored several key goals by changing his backhand into a straight line.

Just now we reversed the situation and turned defeat into victory.

I have to say that Li Qian’s tactics are sometimes quite effective.

"I should."

Li Qian smiled from ear to ear, "The key is that you played well in the last three games."

While talking.

Xie Mingyang has already put on his backpack.

Accompanied by Li Qian, he left the stadium.

Just walked out of the arena.

Chen Jin could be seen from a distance.

Chen Jin greeted him with a smile and gave Xie Mingyang two thumbs up: "You played well, but it was a bit stressful."

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang also had to admit, "Zhang Yuzhen is indeed a strong opponent."

When he was trailing 0-2, he thought to himself that if it were Chen Jin, he wouldn't have had such a hard time playing like him.

No one knows what the situation will be like if Chen Jinzhen meets Zhang Yuzhen.

Perhaps, it will be another 3-0 sweep.

"It's true that it's exhausting, but it's also true that it's exciting to watch them come back from a 2-0 deficit and turn the tables against the odds."

Chen Jin laughed, "I was in the audience and heard several girls whispering, 'Wow, this boy looks so handsome when he plays basketball.'"

For the last sentence, he deliberately pinched his throat and imitated the girls' emphasis, which was quite lifelike.

It wasn't that he was joking or making fun of Xie Mingyang on purpose, it was actually true.

Xie Ming is good-looking, with a bit of dominance in his coldness and a bit of abstinence in his masculinity.

Especially when he roared after winning the game just now on the court, he looked even more domineering.

It would be strange if it didn't attract girls' attention.

"really?"

Li Qian chuckled and winked, "Brother Mingyang, if you work harder, you might be able to gain countless fans through this Grand Slam."

Thinking back to when he was an athlete, he envied Zhang Jike, Ma Long and Xu Xin the most.

There's nothing else to it, it's just because these three have so many fans.

Especially female fans.

Every time they compete, the stadium is filled with their cheering signs and fans shouting their names, which makes Li Qian feel deeply moved: "A real man should live like this."

It's a pity that he can't reach such a height in terms of strength or appearance.

After playing for several years, I have been wasting time in the second team.

He retired due to injury before even getting a chance to play in a game, and then stayed on to coach the team.

But, it’s different from Li Qian.

Xie Mingyang was not impressed by this and said coldly: "I play basketball to win championships, not to attract fans."

The act of attracting fans is either for vanity or for traffic.

No matter which one, Xie Mingyang doesn't like it.

The only thing he pursues when embarking on this career path is winning the championship!
"Hey, winning a championship and gaining fans are not contradictory."

Li Qian smiled and said, "Don't we have so many vivid examples?"

"No, conflict."

Without waiting for Xie Mingyang to speak, Chen Jin said sternly, "It's too damn conflicting."

"Where is the conflict?"

Li Qian was slightly stunned.

"There are countless fans, but there is only one champion."

Chen Jin turned to Xie Mingyang and said, "Let's divide the work and cooperate from now on. You can attract fans, but I must win the championship."

"What a coincidence, I thought exactly the same as you."

Xie Mingyang raised his eyebrows, "You get the fans, and I'll take the championship."

While talking.

The three of them came to the lounge.

Xie Mingyang was just about to go take a shower and change clothes.

Sudden.

A burly middle-aged man, wearing the uniform of a national table tennis coach, walked towards them with his head held high.

"Li Qian."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Long time no see."

"Coach Zhang?"

Li Qian was surprised and hurried forward, "Why are you here?"

"Come and watch the game."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Looking for someone by the way."

"Who are you looking for?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Are you looking for me?"

"Of course not. Of course I have to pick a good day to meet you. How can I be so casual?"

"Coach Zhang still loves to joke around."

After a pause, Li Qian became more curious, "Coach Zhang, who are you looking for? I can help you find it."

"No need."

The middle-aged man turned his gaze and looked behind Li Qian. "The person I'm looking for is right in front of me."

"Chen Jin?"

Li Qian suddenly realized.

Since the Macau Championship, Chen Jin's reputation has grown.

With his fame, more and more people are coveting Chen Jin.

It is not surprising that Coach Zhang values ​​and loves talents and came to Chen Jin three times in person.

"Do not."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "I'm not looking for Chen Jin, I'm looking for him."

His eyes fell on Xie Mingyang.

"Xie Mingyang?"

Li Qian was stunned.

The person that Head Coach Zhang was looking for was actually Xie Mingyang?

its not right!
Isn’t Chen Jin stronger than Xie Mingyang?

Why did head coach Zhang ignore Chen Jin and instead take a fancy to Xie Mingyang?

Li Qian frowned inwardly, unable to guess what the middle-aged man was thinking.

Not only Li Qian.

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, even Xie Mingyang was a little puzzled.

"Thank you Mingyang."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?"

Chat alone?
Xie Mingyang frowned slightly.

I am increasingly confused about what the middle-aged man is up to.

"Li Qian."

The middle-aged man glanced at him.

"Ok?"

Li Qian reacted immediately, "You guys chat slowly, we'll leave first."

Done.

Pulling Chen Jin together, he left the lounge.

In the lounge, only Xie Mingyang and the middle-aged man were left.

"sit."

The middle-aged man pointed to the bench at his feet.

"No."

Xie Mingyang said calmly, "I still need to take a shower and change clothes."

"Do you know who I am?"

The middle-aged man smiled.

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang nodded, "Head Coach Zhang Lei of the Beijing team."

"You must be wondering why I came to you, right?" Zhang Lei said with a smile.

"Correct."

Although he said this, Xie Mingyang could actually guess something in his heart.

The other party is the head coach of the Beijing team. He is very busy. Now he comes here in person. Apart from poaching players, could there be other things?

However, Xie Mingyang didn’t say anything even though he was wrong.

Anyway, since Zhang Lei is here, he won't keep us in suspense.

"I just watched your match with Zhang Yuzhen. You came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-0. It was an exciting match."

Zhang Lei leaned over and sat on the bench, looking up at Xie Mingyang with a smile on his face, "Although you are young, I think you have great potential, so I would like to invite you to join our Beijing team."

it is as expected!
bother you for something.

"invite me?"

Xie Mingyang remained calm and indifferent, "I am from the Magic City team."

"I know."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "As long as you agree, I will discuss it with Director Wang."

As for how to discuss with Director Wang and whether Director Wang would agree, that was not something Xie Mingyang could worry about.

"why me?"

Xie Mingyang said, "Given the caution of Head Coach Zhang, he probably wouldn't be optimistic about me just because of the victory in this game."

"good."

Looking at Xie Mingyang with eyes full of admiration, Zhang Lei said truthfully, "Because someone is very optimistic about you and recommended you to me. I absolutely believe in that person, so I also believe in you."

"Someone is optimistic about me?"

Xie Mingyang frowned, "Who is it?"

Zhang Lei smiled, crossed his legs, and did not answer.

However, with Xie Mingyang's intelligence, he had already vaguely guessed it.

While being optimistic about him, he is also deeply trusted by the head coach of the Beijing team.

People who meet these two conditions will emerge without much thought.

"Where's Chen Jin?"

Xie Mingyang hesitated for a moment, "Isn't he more suitable for the Beijing team than me?"

"Do not."

Zhang Lei shook his head, "In my opinion, you are more suitable than him."

"reason?"

"I can't be mistaken."

"..."

"Xie Mingyang, you have to believe in the strength of our Beijing team."

Zhang Lei looked at Xie Mingyang and said patiently, "As long as you are willing to join the Beijing team, I can give you any resources you want."

"At least, I won't lose to Chen Jin."

"And I promise that in a few years, you will be the second Wang Chuqin."

The second Wang Chuqin?

Are you cursing me for not being able to win a championship in the three major tournaments by the age of 26?
A trace of disdain flashed across the depths of his eyes, and Xie Mingyang said in a cold tone: "I'll think about it."

Perhaps, for other athletes, they would be trembling with fear and treading on thin ice in front of Zhang Lei.

But Xie Mingyang is different.

He has enough capital to ignore the Beijing team's head coach.

"Row."

Zhang Lei didn't take it as an offense. He stood up and took out his phone from his pocket. "Add WeChat first. You can contact me anytime."

Xie Mingyang did not refuse this.

After some operations, keep in touch with each other.

"All right."

Zhang Lei waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving first. Say hello to Mr. Xie for me."

Having said that, he left the lounge.

Looking at Zhang Lei's back, Xie Mingyang frowned even deeper.

When he finished taking a shower and changed his clothes, he saw that Chen Jin and Li Qian had already returned to the lounge.

As soon as he saw Xie Mingyang, Li Qian immediately stood up and asked in a low voice: "Head Coach Zhang came to see you. Does he want you to join the Beijing team?"

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang did not hide it either.

"You agreed?"

Li Qian asked again.

"No."

Xie Mingyang shook his head, "But I promise to consider it."

"It should."

Li Qian said, "It's time to think it over carefully."

Originally, he wanted to continue talking about his views on this matter.

But looking at Xie Mingyang's expression, he seemed to be uninterested.

The topic was immediately dropped.

Back to the hotel.

in the room.

Xie Mingyang kept frowning and didn't relax at all during the whole journey.

"Still thinking about Team Jing?"

Chen Jin smiled.

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang looked up at Chen Jin, "Which one do you choose? Beijing team or Shanghai team?"

"Why are you suddenly dragging me into this?"

Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am now in the S Province team."

"The provincial team temple is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Xie Mingyang saw it clearly, "Sooner or later you will leave the provincial team, either the Beijing team or the Shanghai team, right?"

“That was a few years later.”

Chen Jin said, "I signed a contract with the provincial team. If I breach the contract, I will have to pay compensation."

"Considering your potential and future value, this amount of liquidated damages is nothing."

Xie Mingyang said calmly, "Besides, if Director Wang or Zhang Lei gave the order, would your provincial team dare not release him?"

"That's true."

Chen Jin smiled bitterly.

immediately.

The two of them sat on their beds, neither speaking, and fell into silence.

After a while.

Xie Mingyang spoke up, breaking the silence: "In fact, when you went to Director Wang that night and asked him to help recruit Zhang Jiahao into the Magic City team, I guessed that you had already made up your mind."

"Yes."

Chen Jin sighed and smiled bitterly, "I owe you such a big favor, I have to pay it back."

"So, you will choose the Magic City team?"

Xie Mingyang looked at Chen Jin.

"I can only say that it's highly likely."

Chen Jindao.

"it is good."

Xie Mingyang said in a deep voice, "Let me be frank. If you choose the Magic City team, I will choose the Beijing team."

"If you choose the Beijing team, I will stay in the Magic City team."

"The decision is yours."

Hear the words.

Chen Jinyi frowned: "You mean, you can choose after I make my decision?"

"Correct."

Xie Mingyang said, "You should understand why I made this choice."

"clear."

Chen Jin nodded, "If I were you, I would do the same."

"It's good if you understand."

Xie Mingyang said.

"but……"

Chen Jin grinned, "I really haven't made up my mind yet. I'll let you know as soon as I do."

During the tryouts, Wang Liqin invited him to join the Shanghai team, but he declined.

Now, because of Zhang Jiahao’s matter, I owe someone a favor, and I must repay it.

As for the provincial team, they have trained me for two years and have done their best.

As for Zhang Jiahao's case, there is nothing wrong with the provincial team's approach.

Chen Jin was also very conflicted.

In terms of resources, the S Province team is definitely far inferior to the Shanghai team.

But if he just left the provincial team that had trained him for many years, it would seem inhumane.

Caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

The best thing to do now is to maintain the status quo and move on.

There must be a way to the front of the mountain.

"Row."

Xie Mingyang nodded, "Wait for your news."

　Due to the modification in the morning, today's update time is disrupted. Sorry.

　　Timeout +2K.

　　The total amount is 6K, pay it off as soon as possible.
