"Won!!!"

The entire Lusail Stadium seemed to have been hit by a depth charge, which exploded with a deafening roar.

The moment the ball hit the ground, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Zhang Jiahao suddenly leaped up, jumping high into the air, spreading his arms wide like an eagle, and hopping along the edge of the field.

"champion!"

"we are the champion!"

Zhang Jiahao was filled with excitement and roared with joy.

The red team uniforms fluttered in the wind.

Sweat was dripping in the air.

In contrast, Chen Jin stood still, simply clenching his fist in celebration.

Then, she looked at Zhang Jiahao with a smile.

But Zhang Jiahao ran half a lap around the field and then rushed towards him like a whirlwind.

next second.

Zhang Jiahao had already rushed up to Chen Jin.

Without any hesitation, the two exerted their strength almost simultaneously and leaped into the air.

"boom!"

A solid, powerful thud.

Their chests collided.

Another high-energy "chest bump" celebration!
It was as if the mastiff and python had reappeared.

The two used their bodies to express the passion they had after fighting together, demonstrating what it means to be the best partners.

"Wow!"

The fans in the stadium erupted in cheers once again.

She landed with a chest thud.

Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao hugged tightly and patted each other's backs forcefully.

This is their first time participating in the World Table Tennis Championships.

In his first competition, he won the Iran Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor in men's table tennis in the world.

more importantly.

With an average age of sixteen, he became the youngest men's doubles champion in the history of the World Table Tennis Championships!

No one has gone before!

"Brother Jin."

Zhang Jiahao sniffled, "I want to cry."

"cry?"

Chen Jin smiled, "Crying counts as time."

Courtside.

The instant the ball hits the ground.

It was as if a spring was installed under Wang Hao's buttocks, causing him to suddenly spring up from his seat.

"Boiled!"

Wang Hao clenched his fists, swung them forcefully, and roared at the arena.

Before the World Table Tennis Championships, the announcement of the men's doubles roster sparked considerable controversy and skepticism online.

Most of the criticism was directed at Zhang Jiahao.

Although Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao have also won the men's doubles titles at the World Junior Championships and the Singapore Grand Slam together.

However, some groups believe that this small achievement is completely unacceptable.

Immediately, a barrage of criticism came crashing down like hailstones.

"Zhang Jiahao? Who's that? Never heard of him."

"How can someone so unknown be allowed to partner with Chen Jin in men's doubles? Is General Lin not worthy of it?"

"Chen Jin is so strong in singles, but he has a burden in doubles. What was the coaching staff thinking?"

"Are these two newcomers, who have never participated in the World Table Tennis Championships before, paired up for doubles? Is this a strategic move to abandon men's doubles and hand the men's doubles gold medal over to foreign associations?"

……

Both Zhang Jiahao and the coaching staff are under considerable public pressure.

The pressure was even greater after the highly anticipated Lin-Lin duo was eliminated in the men's doubles quarterfinals.

Fortunately, Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao withstood the pressure and won the championship.

Zhang Jiahao's impeccable performance on the field shattered all doubts.

VIP viewing area.

Wang Liqin and Liu Guoliang sat side by side, smiling and clapping softly.

"Our men's doubles team has a worthy successor."

A look of satisfaction shone in Liu Guoliang's eyes.

As Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao celebrated with a chest bump, he vaguely saw two other familiar figures.

"Yes."

Wang Liqin smiled and nodded.

Before the competition, his biggest worry was the men's doubles.

After all, Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao were participating in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time; they were new players with little experience.

However, the pairing of Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong was eliminated early on.

I thought that the men's doubles team had no chance of winning the championship.

To his utter surprise, Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao gave him a huge surprise.

"Back then, when Chen Jin recommended Zhang Jiahao to me, I only took Zhang Jiahao in because of Chen Jin."

Wang Liqin secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, I made the right decision back then."

Otherwise, how could we have discovered Zhang Jiahao, this doubles prodigy?

Moreover, Zhang Jiahao's progress compared to last year is visibly rapid.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the men's doubles pair in Loong and Oklahoma City will also have a candidate selected."

Wang Liqin pondered to himself.

Of course, the Los Angeles Olympics are still three years away.

There is still room for adjustment in the selection of men's doubles players.

But there is no doubt that this World Table Tennis Championships men's doubles title will greatly increase Zhang Jiahao's chances of being selected for the Los Angeles Olympic men's doubles team.

Just as I was thinking.

Sudden.

The crowd erupted in cheers like a tsunami.

Zhang Jiahao faced the camera and forcefully pulled up the five-star red flag embroidered on his chest. Then, he gave a thumbs-up, turned his wrist, and pointed to the name printed on his back—Zhang.JH!

This action instantly brought back memories for many fans at the scene from many years ago.

Xu Xin, the "Golden Left Straight Man," makes his signature celebration move!
Be assertive and confident!
Who else would I be!

At this moment, the ancient hero named Xu Xin seemed to reappear in Zhang Jiahao's body.

This is not only a tribute, but also a declaration to the world: the world's number one men's doubles pair is back!

"Wow!"

The cheers at the scene reached a new peak because of Zhang Jiahao's celebratory gesture.

On the playing field.

After shaking hands with their opponents, their coach, and the referee, Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao returned to the sidelines.

Wang Hao had already gotten up and was waiting for the two of them.

As the two approached, he opened his arms and embraced them one by one.

"Well played."

Wang Hao's tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement and praise.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Zhang Jiahao snapped to attention, saluted, and then touched his neck with his other hand. "At least my head, which can still eat and talk, is still intact."

After packing up their belongings—rackets, towels, water bottles, spare rackets—Wang Hao, with Chen Jin on his left and Zhang Jiahao on his right, beamed with joy as they headed towards the players' tunnel.

The three walked and talked, waving to the cheering fans in the stands.

The flashbulbs on both sides of the passageway were lit up.

We arrived at the mixed mining area.

Reporters from all walks of life had already packed the area, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Long guns and short cannons, ready for battle.

As soon as Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao appeared, they were immediately surrounded by the crowd.

Upon meeting the reporter.

Zhang Jiahao immediately became excited, making a rapper's hand gesture: "My surname is Zhang in the Hundred Family Surnames, don't be arrogant because my surname is Zhang, my fists are rock hard, I've been to Shaolin and Wudang..."

His theatrical personality made all the reporters present burst into laughter.

"First of all, congratulations to the two men's doubles champions at the Doha World Table Tennis Championships, who have become the youngest men's doubles champions in history."

A pretty female reporter, holding a microphone with the CCTV6 logo, asked first, "How are you feeling right now?"

Instantly, all the microphones were pointed at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin smiled and glanced at Zhang Jiahao beside him.

"Cough cough."

Zhang Jiahao wiped the sweat from his face, leaned closer to the microphone, grinned, and said, "I'm excited, I'm thrilled..."

There was a pause.

He stretched his limbs a bit, then added, "My hands and feet are very soft."

His words brought a smile to everyone's face.

How do you evaluate your teammates?

The reporter then asked.

"Stealing the words of a certain people's artist."

Zhang Jiahao raised his arm and gently put his arm around Chen Jin's shoulder, his eyes full of trust. "As long as Brother Jin and I team up for doubles, I'm not afraid of any of you!"

His few words were spoken with unwavering resolve and absolute determination.

Judging from Zhang Jiahao's expression, it was definitely not a joke.

It is stating a given fact.

The youthful arrogance was on full display!
"So how would you rate your group?"

The reporter pressed on, asking, "What are your expectations and hopes for the future?"

"I will wear my golden armor after a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan!"

Zhang Jiahao raised his head, his heart brimming with pride, and answered loudly, "As long as Brother Jin and I don't retire, as long as we team up to compete in men's doubles, our Jin Jia duo will sweep all the championships."

This statement came out.

The scene erupted in uproar.

Some secretly applauded the young man's vigor and confidence, while others thought to themselves that his words were a bit too arrogant.

"Cough cough."

The reporter changed the subject, handing the microphone to Chen Jin, "Chen Jin, what do you think?"

"I think……"

Chen Jin smiled slightly, "There shouldn't be any problem."

"what?"

The reporter was momentarily stunned.

It was originally thought that Chen Jin's calm and steady personality would be able to temper Zhang Jiahao's arrogance.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin was not to be outdone.

Shortly after, the interview between Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao went viral on major platforms again via live streaming.

Opinions are divided, with both praise and criticism.
